In the fecal energy, explain the relationship of the fecal output of high fiber diet with starch base diet.
The relationship of fecal output to high fiber diet and starch base diet is that, fecal output or fecal loss
will be much higher in high fiber diet than in starch based diets.
Give one factor that can alter the digestibility of the sample during assay
Physiological Conditions
A digestibility trial is consist of three periods with each period lasting of 7 up to 10 days
The parameters measured to calculate METABOLIZABLE energy includes Digestible Energy, urinary
energy and gaseous energy.
The problem in doing in vivo technique in digestible trials assays is that it takes 7-21 days before the
animal can adjust to the feed before result is obtained. This period of time contrasts the duration of
digestible trials which is also 7-21 days.
What chemical used in digestible trial to measure the amount of digested nutrient.
Digestible crude protein, digestible crude fiber, digestible nitrogen free extract and digestible ether
extract
Male animals are more preferred during trials because it is easier to separate the feces from urine.
What is digestible trials
An estimation of the total amount of a certain nutrient absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract is give
by digestion experiments
What is the difference between internal and external indicators in measuring digestibility of the food
When we say internal indicators these are foods organic components. While the substances that are
added to foods are external indicators
Gross Energy
gross Energy
Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy operates by identifying the food properties and it's nutritional
values. The theory behind it is that it reflect the types and proportions of organic structures within a
material
Bioenergetics
Both in vivo and in vitro determines the feeds digestibility they differ in duration, invivo takes a long
time while in vitro is rapid and takes a short time
